Another relevant point is about the principles of Roman civil law because, this civilization look for new reasonable laws, and always thinking in human benefits and in the society beneficial. Besides the Roman civil law was flexibility due to they include or accept new ideas and opinions in their legal principles sometimes. Basically they want to build a great society with a strong system of democracy and laws. This idea was brilliant and involves main points.
